Well, I called my DZ and was told it'll be 99 for my Tandem Level2, and 150 for the rest up to level 9. I just found out that after that each one will be 45 (which includes rental). Now I see how you guys rack up so many jumps in a year!

Well, I don't have anything to compare it to, but SDM made me become addicted to skydiving. The staff was so friendly and the experience was so wonderful, that after my first Tandem this past Saturday, I have decided to do my IAFF there. Randy is a total bad ass and I am looking forward to many wonderful days at SDM

AHH, now I see. Well, i will definitely try my best to get up there more often. I can't wait till I learn the whole skydiving lingo, I feel so left out here!

What is muscle memory? Does it have to do with the fact that my first jump made me feel like I worked out for ages? LOL

Ahh, I'm glad to see you did it the way I'm planning to. I read of so many people on the board who do all the levels in a week, and unfortunately that isn't in the cards for me now. Anyhow, I think that doing it all at once wont give me the experience I am looking for, as I think one learns better through time then just rushing into things. Hopefully, once I'm done, it will be cheaper and I can get into the hundreds like you! This year, my taxes for my home went down by $100 a month, so I see it as a sign that I have that money available to me and found something great to use it for.

How is it that you have 38 jumps and are a student? I thought 25 meant you got your license. Is this wrong? There is so much to learn, its quite exciting!

Well, the closest dropzone is the one I went to. I decided to email them and decided I am going to do the IAFF course. I'm going to do the Tandem Level 2 in 3 weeks and then each jump up to level 9 every 30 days or so. How some of you afford hundreds of jumps in a year is amazing! I'm 21, full time work, full time school, with a mortgage, so I really cant go nuts with the money (each jump is going to put me back like 150). I miss being in the sky sooooo much already. I don't know how I am going to wait 3 weeks. Thanks so much for the tips and good wishes. Like, you said, hopefully I'll be at the Boogies with you guys in no time!

Wow! How do you have over 600 jumps in two years? That is amazing? I'm going to have to get a second mortgage, aren't I? :o) I was really tempted to go the same day. They had a sepcial where I could purchase my second Tandem for $99, so I figured I would save it for next month since I want to do the course and need at least one jump every 30 days. Honestly, if I had the finances, I would go ALL THE TIME! Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful welcome to the boards.

Hey there! Thanks for the warm welcome. Don't worry about being sane...I find insanity comforting!

Hey! Thanks for the invite, I just might take you up on that. I've noticed that there are different types of schooling available IAFF, AFF, Expert AFF. I'm not sure which one I should take. I'm guessing if I want a license I should take the expert one. I was looking at your website for the Pink Mafia. I think it's awesome to see so many bad-ass chicks like I want to be!

Hey everyone! My name is Janette (21, Miami, FL) and I took my first tandem on Saturday with Randy at Skydive miami. By the time I landed, I was ready for more. I can't wait to begin training. I am completely lost as to how one becomes a skydiver, but I guess with due time I'll figure it out. My wallet is going to hate me! Hopefull, someday I'll be doing formations and flying like the rest of you.
